How to Enjoy Apple Music at 320kbps High Quality

Select your language:

Why is the bitrate 256 and not 320?

Normally, the locally-saved Apple Music files are 256 kbps AAC files (the same as iTunes store downloads). So while Apple has not formally announced the bitrates that its songs stream at, we can confirm that the highest bitrate of Apple Music songs is 256kbps, which is lower than the 320 kbps offered by Spotify, Radio, Tidal and so on. In this case, theoretically, Apple Music’s 256 kbps bitrate shouldn’t sound as good as the 320 kbps offered by its rival services. But there’s more to it than just bitrate. Apple uses the AAC format for its tracks, which tends to be much better than the normal MP3 format because of the way in which it’s encoded. However for those who consider that "lower bitrate means lower quality", it would be better if they can get Apple Music songs as MP3 format at 320kbps high quality.
